At AR Clinics, we specialize in physiotherapy, pain management, and chiropractic care to provide lasting relief and help you regain movement without discomfort. Our all-female team of expert therapists ensures a comfortable and supportive environment for women seeking effective treatment.

What is a Pinched Nerve in the Lower Back?

A pinched nerve occurs when surrounding tissues—such as bones, muscles, or discs—compress a nerve, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness in the affected area. This condition is often associated with sciatica, where the sciatic nerve is compressed, causing radiating pain down the leg.

Common Causes of a Pinched Nerve in the Lower Back

• Herniated or Bulging Discs – When spinal discs press against the nerve.
• Spinal Stenosis – Narrowing of the spinal canal, putting pressure on nerves.
• Poor Posture – Sitting for long periods in an improper position.
• Muscle Imbalances or Tightness – Can lead to nerve compression.
• Injuries or Accidents – Sudden trauma may cause nerve pinching.
• Pregnancy – Increased weight and postural changes can put pressure on nerves.

Symptoms of a Pinched Nerve in the Lower Back

• Sharp or burning pain in the lower back.
• Radiating pain down one or both legs (sciatica).
• Tingling or numbness in the legs, feet, or buttocks.
• Weakness in the affected leg or difficulty standing.
• Increased pain with movement, coughing, or sneezing.

Our licensed physiotherapists design targeted exercise programs to reduce pressure on the nerve, improve flexibility, and strengthen supporting muscles.

2. Chiropractic Adjustments for Spinal Alignment

Our chiropractors use gentle spinal manipulations to realign the spine, relieve nerve compression, and improve mobility.

We utilize non-invasive techniques like heat therapy, electrotherapy, and ultrasound therapy to reduce pain and inflammation.

4. Posture & Ergonomic Training

We guide patients on correct sitting and standing postures to prevent nerve compression and future injuries.

5. Therapeutic Massage & Myofascial Release

Our specialized massage therapy relieves muscle tension, enhances circulation, and reduces pressure on the affected nerve.

As a clinic by women, for women, we prioritize personalized care in a safe and supportive setting, ensuring our patients feel comfortable during treatment.

When to Seek Professional Help?

If your lower back pain persists for more than a few weeks, worsens over time, or is accompanied by numbness and weakness, it’s essential to seek expert care. Early treatment can prevent long-term complications and improve recovery time.
